Chapter 42 Mom apologizes
After hearing what my mother said, I stood up and said, "Forget it, I was just crazy and wanted to help solve the problem. It turns out that my mother wanted me to commit suicide to help my second brother clear the debt. I won't care about it in the future." gone."

The eldest brother hurriedly stopped me: "Qiaoer! Don't be sad, that's not what Mom meant."

Mom also panicked, and hurried over to hold my hand: "Actually, I was angry for a while..."

"You're not angry, that's what you think in your heart, only the second brother is your sweetheart in the family, and you never wait to see me, I won't take care of his business anymore, do whatever you want!" I said and went out Let's go, tears can't stop flowing out, I want to think about the problem from the mother's standpoint many times, but in the end I am completely disappointed.

My mother dragged me and cried: "Qiaoer, I was really wrong, please forgive me, look at what this house has become now, your second sister-in-law is gone, and the house will be robbed, Mom will definitely make it up to you later, this time, no matter what, you have to help our family get through this crisis!"

I was stunned. I have never heard my mother say sorry to me in all these years.Even if she was wrong, she used her identity as a mother to oppress me. This time I heard someone like her confessing to me, and I couldn't react for a while.

My elder brother is also persuading me: "I know your psychological grievances, but the situation is like this, if you leave, we don't know what to do, I will only do my best, your brain is the smartest, this family still has to rely on you!"

I can only stay, after all, this is also my home.

Back in the yard of my home, I didn’t notice it because I was too anxious just now, but now I realize that the neat and tidy courtyard has changed. The big brother prepared a mountain of firewood, but now there is only one left At the end, it is estimated that the second brother will use it again, and the big tank has already dried up. There are still some eggplant seedlings and bean seedlings that have withered in the garden, and no one has cleaned them up.The ground was full of rubbish, and even the few pigs were starved and thin. When they saw us coming in, they kept humming in the pen.

The elder brother frowned and said, "How can this be done? We won't be here for a few days, how did the family become like this!"

"I still have to plant winter wheat these days. I am alone. How can I be busy outside the house! I also have to cook and wash clothes for Liuye. Sometimes I can't even eat my saliva." Mom said sadly sighed.

The eldest brother said anxiously: "My second child, it's fine if you don't do the work in the field, why don't you do the same at home?"

"Isn't his ankle sprained? I can't let him carry water and chop wood. I'm worried that if he is tired, it will be worse?"

My elder brother and I all laughed helplessly.

I said: "He sprained his ankle, that happened nearly two months ago, and he was obviously making excuses for not wanting him to work. You yourself don't want her to work, that's why it became so miserable. Who can blame it?" what?"

Mom was anxious to say something, but she still sighed after all: "Actually, I used to think that Junjun was always very good except that he didn't like to work. Why did he become like this now? After marrying Liu Ye, she Those who instigate will do this!"

I said: "Could it be that Liu Ye let him go out to gamble? If he is wrong, he is wrong. If you just make excuses for him like this, you will never get better for the rest of your life!"

Mom slapped her knee anxiously: "Yes, everything is my fault, right? Are you here to help solve the problem, or are you here to hold a criticism meeting, can you think of a way?"

The eldest brother saw his mother like this, so he couldn't say anything.I thought to myself, Mom has finally admitted the fact that the second brother is useless, which is considered a big improvement.

The eldest brother was going to fetch water with a bucket, but was stopped by his mother: "What time is it, do you still care about this? Let me talk about the current situation first, shall we? Qiaoer just paid back Er Shuanzi 40 yuan, but now I still have to pay for it." There are two hundred and two, plus the previous borrowing, a total of three hundred foreign debts. When is this a big deal?"

The elder brother had no choice but to sit down, neither he nor mom had any idea, they just looked at me.

I said: "Didn't you say that as long as you mess around and commit suicide, people won't want the money? Let the second brother make trouble."

"Didn't I say it in a hurry? I know I said something wrong, so you don't have to vomit me like this!" Mom started crying again as she spoke.

Seeing my mother like this, I could only persuade my elder brother: "As long as there are people, they can always figure out a way, so let's open it up."

Mom said cautiously: "I don't know how much you two have left to work this time? Can you take it out and give him some money first? I will definitely ask him to return it to you in the future!"

My eldest brother and I shook our heads. Although I still have about 100 yuan, my eldest brother still has a little savings with Lin Cailian, but I can’t take it out. I know very well in my heart that if this money is given to my second brother, I will be beaten by meat buns. It is impossible to return it to us.

Mom also expected such a reply, so she sighed and said, "I know you can't trust me."

I said: "Mom, it's not that I can't trust you. I really don't have any money. I still want to use the remaining money to go to the agricultural school. Now I have given my second brother a subsidy. I really don't have any money." There is a way to help you."

Mom saw that we couldn't come up with any money, so she talked to her eldest brother about the marriage: "Zhiguo, Wang Lanhua is still waiting for a letter, she is willing to add another bicycle, and the money for the box will be given to three Ten. She spent the night with you, and everyone in the village knows about it. You can't leave her alone, can you?"

The eldest brother frowned and said, "Mom, I won't agree to this matter. Nothing happened between me and Wang Lanhua that day. I told you everything. She knew it herself. My marriage, and Qiaozhen's marriage, You don't want to interfere."

Mom said anxiously: "Why are you two like this? If I didn't have this chance, I would admit it, but now people put money in the hands of both of you, but you don't want any of them! The second child is now What's the matter, we are all a family, don't you feel bad?"

I said: "I don't like Yu Hongcai, I don't want to marry him. How can you help the second brother by selling your children and daughters?"

"Anyone's daughter can use the bride price to exchange for some money, and it's our turn to say it so badly! Besides, now that you have been divorced and Song Dong's incident, your reputation is already like this. Who else can you marry? Ah? I'm doing it for your own good."

I sneered and said: "It's really for my own good, so you shouldn't push that guy who eats, drinks, whores and gambles on me. So what if I don't marry for the rest of my life, if it's for my second brother, I'd rather get together with a piece of trash." together?"

The elder brother hastily stopped me: "Qiaoer, talk to mom properly."

I sneered and said, "What do you hear mom say, do you think I can talk to her properly?"

Mom covered her face and cried, "Everyone says my daughter is my mother's caring little padded jacket, so you treat me like this?"

I couldn't help but get hot eyes: "Am I your padded jacket? How have you treated me for so many years? Is I worth 200 yuan in your heart? I will earn more money in my life, and I am Don't bully Yu Hongcai like a cow! I'm talking about the last time, if you force me again, I won't go home for the rest of my life!"

Mom raised her hand and was about to hit me, I looked at her calmly: "Mom, if you really hit me, there will be no room for you anymore. Don't regret it!"

"I am really a sinner!" She put down her hands in a slump, sat on the bench and kept wiping her tears: "One is for two hundred, and the other is for three hundred. As long as one person agrees to this marriage, both of you can be married." Brother's debts are settled, but no one cares about him, and he is really watching helplessly as he cannot get out of the pit!"

The eldest brother said: "The second child is in the pit, he jumped down by himself. No one can blame him except himself."

Mom said with a look of despair: "What's the use of talking about this now? It seems that we can only sell the house! I will ask Lao Fang's family if they want a house in a while, and sell it to him. Sell ​​them all and pay off the debts, you don't care, but I can't just watch Junjun being forced to death!"

The eldest brother glanced at me: "Qiaoer, if you have any ideas, just let us know, don't be a fool."

I said: "I can have no good idea, I can only follow the idea you said. Let's rent out the land at home. The rent we get will go to the second brother to pay off the debt, and the rest will be used as living expenses for the mother. We both rely on our own money to support us." , As for the second elder brother, he should have set up his own family a long time ago. Since he doesn't want to farm the land himself, he should think of other ways."

The eldest brother also nodded: "This is a way."

Mom was stunned at first, and then said anxiously: "What are you talking about? Do you want me to rent out the land? No way, this land is the foundation of our farmers! How can we live without land?"

"That can't be helped. Qiaoer and I are going to the city in two days. There is no way to help you plant the land. The second child can't be counted as a labor force. Mom, now that you are too old, you can't plant by yourself. The land will be desolate by then." He told me that he was going to learn how to work as a car wheeler and that he and I were going out to sell fruit.

My mother looked at me anxiously: "Men go out, but you are a big girl, you can run around without getting married? Be obedient, Qiaoer, you can stay at home with me, there are many of you at home One bite to eat, do you have to go out and provoke people to gossip?"

I sneered and said: "Mom, don't say that. I will never forget the face of my second brother when I harvested the wheat and got the rations in previous years. The food I planted with all my strength, he just sits and enjoys it. He also talks about me. eat him and drink him."

"Let me talk to him, if he dares to bully you like this again, I will beat him!"

I shook my head and said, "Forget it, if the second brother has a conscience, he won't make this family so miserable. Needless to say, the things I have decided will not be changed."

The eldest brother also said: "Mom, if Qiao'er didn't go out to work this time, you can't even come up with 40 yuan to help him pay off his debts today, let alone the second child owes so much money, what will you do if you don't rent out the land?"

Ma's lips moved, but nothing came out.

I know that she still wants us to pay back the money to my second brother through the marriage gift, but I am afraid to say it, we really don't care about them, so I can only bear it without saying a word.
